That’s my bad...

Yesterday I incorrectly said that the PDIC provides $500k/bank of coverage to Americans. The real amount is $250k. This means that FDIC covers approximately 50% of the average non-rural home price, and that it would take two accounts to fully protect that amount.

Yesterday I incorrectly referred to FDIC when I meant to say PDIC, with reference to what the PDIC offers to Filipinos.

The MB Market Calendar incorrectly said that the US Federal Reserve decision would be known on March 21, when it actually will come down in the early morning of March 23. As the only writer/editor of MB, I appreciate it when readers spot these errors to allow me to correct them!
